Automatic IP Address Configuration
To automatically assign an IP address and its network configuration:
1. Click
Network
from the main menu.
2. Select
Obtain IP address automatically
.
3. Enter the following (as necessary):
BOOTP
Select
Enable
to permit the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). The
BOOTP server automatically assigns the IP address from a
pool of addresses.
DHCP
Select
Enable
to permit Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). DHCP automatically assigns a leased IP address to
the WiPort unit.
Auto-IP
The WiPort generates an IP in the 169.254.x.x address range
with a Class B subnet. Select the
Disable
checkbox to
disable this feature.
DHCP Host Name
Enter the name of the host on the network providing the IP
address.
Note:
Disabling BOOTP, DHCP, and Auto-IP (i.e. all three checkboxes) is
not advised as the only available IP assignment method will then be ARP or
serial port.
4. Click
the
OK
button when finished.
